     @Bluedepth @celesteh I‘d love to see „USians“ more widely used to refer to inhabitants of the USA.

     There are lots of other „Americans“, between Canada and Patagonia. There are North Americans outside the US.

     USians is precise, simple and not in the least derogatory. Let’s use it more often!

     @celesteh USians. That’s a new term I haven’t run into before. Doesn’t have the same twang as “Great Satan” but I like it.

     @Bluedepth @celesteh And in case any USians object, I’ll just start calling them „Northern Mexicans“ and „Southern Canadians“, in alternating fashion.
